Bob Johnson Criticizes NC City’s Attitude
(AP) — Former Charlotte Bobcats owner and billionaire Bob Johnson told a group of mostly black business people Saturday that the Carolinas’ largest city has an arrogant business community that doesn’t do enough for black-owned businesses. Johnson’s comments were reported by The Charlotte Observer. “Charlotte is a very, how would I call it, close-knit, arrogant, sometimes incestuous town,” Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, told the Urban Leadership Institute after receiving an award from the organization.
